Beam Voltage Threshold for Excitation of Compressional Alfvén Modes E D Fredrickson, J Menard, N Gorelenkov, S Kubota*, D Smith Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory *University of California

Goal: Improved understanding of CAE instability Fast ion instabilities have potential to impact ignition threshold in fusion reactors. ST's, with intrinsic low field, are particularly susceptible to fast ion driven instabilities. This experiment documents which fast ions drive mode, necessary for benchmarking theoretical models. Sharp threshold in beam energy, but not in V beam /V Alfvén, is found.

Amplitude, number of modes, strong function of voltage above threshold. More CAE with higher voltage. Change in beam velocity only 6% from 70-80kV. Beam power weak factor. tt

B tor varied from kG, small change in threshold; –V beam ≈ x 10 6 m/s. –V beam thr  V Alfvén (1/9) Drive is doppler-shifted cyclotron resonance:  = l  C - k  V drift - k   V Beam (k  V drift << k   V Beam  Most change in V Alfvén from B tor ; could be  beam. Only fast ions, above ≈ 50 keV, drive waves. CAE have sharp beam voltage threshold, weak V Alfvén dependence

Mode frequency predicted from simplified dispersion:  ≈ k  V Alfvén and resonance condition:  ≈  C - k  V drift - k || V b|| k || is adjustable, but range is reasonable. Mode frequencies are typically ≈ ( )  ci. Mode frequency consistent with resonance condition, dispersion.

Fraction of fast ion population available to drive mode is small Fast ions which can drive CAE must satisfy 1  1<(  /  ci )(v  b /V A )<2 Resonance condition means ions must be above  ≈  ci curve. Small fraction of fast ions drive mode.

At higher field, essentially no fast ions available to drive mode. Fast ion population sensitive to density profile, temperature, etc. Threshold change primarily from increase in V Alfvén. More perpendicular fast ions destabilizing. "Bump-on-tail" in perp direction also req'd.

Summary Theoretical advances are finding qualitative and quantitative agreement with experimental determinations of CAE stability boundaries. Presently, the CAE appear to be relatively weakly driven modes with access to only a small fraction of beam injection power. Consistent with measured low growth rates. Fusion-  population may or may not more effectively drive CAE. GAE's also believed observed… N Gorelenkov, Tuesday afternoon, poster session IV

Model of Compressional Alfvén waves Simple "harmonic oscillator" model can be derived from dispersion relation: d 2 /dr 2 = m 2 / r 2 -  2 / V Alfvén 2. De-stabilized by "bump-on-tail" with resonance condition  – l  C – k  V drift - k   V Beam = 0, (l = 0,1) Frequency:

Neutron decay rate shows no strong anomaly Strong stochastic coupling of fast ions to CAE to thermal ions should affect fast ion population, neutron rate, decay rate. TRANSP calculation, recalibrated Thomson Te.
